Hola amigos - bienvenudos to another good Spanish red blend. This tasty rojo is 85% grenache and 15% syrah. One post I read called it a poor man's Cote du Rhone. The Brewers give this one a solid 2 stars and will definitely pick up more for the cellar."The 2004 Mas Donis Barrica is 85% Garnacha from 80+-year-old vines and 15% Syrah aged for 8 months in French and American oak. Opaque purple, it has a wonderfully expressive nose of spice box, pencil lead, pepper, blueberry, and blackberry liqueur. On the palate the wine is full-bodied with layers of ripe, spicy black fruits, nicely concealed tannins, and a long, pure finish. It is an outstanding value for drinking now and over the next 4-6 years."
